Type 1 DM can occur at any age, eldest case reported being of 79 years. There are a few autoantibodies like GAD65, Anti IA2, and ICA. The tests are very costly and are usually not needed. Consultation with an experienced diabetologist is usually good enough. Type 1 DM is not curable and the only treatment option currently available is Insulin.
